Holy Trinity Amberley Churchyard Memorials
Author: Robert Sharpe
Publisher: Robert Sharpe
ISBN:
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
The church of The Holy Trinity in Amberley, Gloucestershire was consecrated in 1841. Since that date over 1000 people have been interred in the churchyard and many memorials have been erected in their memory. The majority of these memorials have suffered the ravages on time, by either collapsing completely or becoming severely eroded by weather, so that their inscription have become hard to interpret. In 2006 a project to record all the memorials was started by members of the church led by the Amberley Archive Group. Many of the memorials required extensive clearing of the weeds and ivy that covered them before their inscription could be examined and recorded. At the same time a photograph of each was taken. This project took over 3 years to complete and culminated with the publication of a paper record in 2009 which is kept in the church for public reference. The book was updated in 2018 with an addendum recording all the internments since 2009. This book is one of a set of four, split alphabetically, containing a picture of each memorial, or plaque, together with the details of any inscription. This book contains all the memorials for surnames with initial letter A-D.

Churchyard and cemetery
Author: Julie Rugg
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526103532
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
This book explores, for the first time, the turbulent social history of churchyards and cemeteries over the last 150 years. Using sites from across rural North Yorkshire, the text examines the workings of the Burial Acts and discloses the ways in which religious politics framed burial management. It presents an alternative history of burial which questions notions of tradition and modernity, and challenges long-standing assumptions about changing attitudes towards mortality in England. This study diverges from the long-standing tendency to regard the churchyard as inherently ‘traditional’ and the cemetery as essentially ‘modern’. Since 1850, both types of site have been subject to the influence of new expectations that burial space would guarantee family burial and the opportunity for formal commemoration. Although the population in central North Yorkshire declined, demand for burial space rose, meaning that many dozens of churchyards were extended, and forty new cemeteries were laid out. This text is accessible to undergraduates and postgraduates, and will be an essential resource for historians, archaeologists and local government officials.
